There is no Splitting this for the person who died in 2020: "you should have received the 1200 and possibly the 600 for her"

There is no considering that it is "possibly."

There is no one who will get only one of the two EIP because of a death in 2020. You either qualify for the EIPs, both of them, or you don't, because the 2020 tax return is what matters. Not the date of death in 2020. If the person died in 2019 or earlier, there is no qualifying for something in 2020; you are already dead. There is no economic impact for you due to an event in 2020.

And getting the Advance or not, also has nothing to do with it; that's just part of reconciling wha you are entitled to, to if you got it as an Advance or not. Either you qualified or you didn't. If you did get the money in Advance, and you qualified, then you are fine. If you did not get any money in Advance, and you qualify, you now get the Refundable Credit. "Refundable" means it would be payable to you, and "credit" means first it is computed against tax owed, to determine how much of it is left to distribute.
